After we receive your note, we will send you a link to the online application and
will work with you to schedule an interview.

What will be discussed during the phone interview?

The phone interview will generally last around 30 minutes. The conversation will
include an overview of our programs, your background and any questions you might
have. We may have some technical questions for you in math, statistics, and
programming.

How do I know if I qualify for a scholarship?

We provide scholarships for our full-time Data Science and Big Data course for
students from underrepresented groups in analytics (African American, Hispanic, and
American Indian backgrounds) and veterans. At this point, we do not offer
scholarships for our part-time courses.

What is the deadline for applying to a course?

Before a cohort begins, there are no set deadlines for applying to a course at
BitBootCamp.

If I am not admitted, can I apply again in the future?

Yes, you are welcome to apply again in the future. If, after reviewing your
application, our team does not think you are quite ready to join, we will provide
you with guidance and study materials on how to prepare.

What backgrounds do people typically have that join the bootcamp?

We work with students with a wide variety of backgrounds. Roughly, 30% of our
students are PhDs and postdocs looking to transition from academia into data
science. Another 30% of our students are programmers with a BS or MS degree in a
technical field or with a few years of experience in industry. Finally, 30-40% of
our students are folks with analytical experience in various fields such as finance
or insurance, or are weekend data enthusists excited to begin a new career.

How many students are in a cohort?

We believe learning happens best in a small class setting -- especially in a bootcamp
where many technical concepts are thrown to you at high velocity! To this end, we
limit all of our cohorts to class sizes of 8-10 students.

Where are the courses taught?

All of our classes take place at 25 Broadway in downtown Manhattan. We are 2 blocks
south of Wall Street and the Charging Bull!
